The attack on a Sikh man outside his house in Kent, Washington, was the third incident of suspected hate crime against an Indian in the United States in a span of 10 days. The attack on Rai comes barely 48 hours after an Indian store owner was shot dead outside his house in South Carolina in a suspected case of hate crime. In the aftermath of the Kansas attack, the coalition said: "We should not wait until someone gets hurt or killed to report hate incidents." Officials do not believe it was a hate crime. It is being prosecuted as a hate crime," Jaishankar said.
